Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

Thanks Everyone,

Julie lovely cakes

Marg

Liza - I heard about that tragedy on the news - how awful (((hugs))) for you & your Mum

rainmac - huge well done to your son, will you let us know when it's published?

Julie - your cakes look yummy - must be the weather I've got an Alice cake waiting for the mix to cool.

Flourgirl - sorry that your village fair wasn't as well 'policed' as the W I ones. I bet your Lemon Curd would have won regardless of the jar.

I went to Harrogate yesterday and had a little spend - nothing too exciting, a round the page punch set, a few pale copics & some LOTV die cut squares but I was disappointed Craftwork Cards hadn't taken the one thing I actually went for so I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay the postage on scalloped edge cards :mad: . DH bless him, walked round the site whilst he waited then had a doze in the car so on the way back we called at Ilkley & treated him to a new shirt and tea at Pizza Express.

Well, it's nice to know that there are still good honest people out there! Site I had my digi stamp issue with have emailed it through with an apology So glad that's been sorted!! Bright point in what has turned out to be not such a good day as popped out for an hour and came back to find that the dog had managed to get into the living room, pull the tin of Roses chocolates onto the floor from the side and then consume most of them!! Emergency call to the vet, £110 consulation fee for out of hours call out and one very poorly doggy!! At least we caught him in time though so fingers crossed there shouldn't be any problems.

Evening all -

Liza - what an awful thing to happen - there really is no justice in the world grrrrrr.

Marg - Craftwork Cards did that to me once - didn't have the one thing i wanted so I now order from one of the people who stock them - got my last lot from Crafty Emmas and think the glitterpot stock them as well

Made banana muffins yesterday - think I'm finally getting domesticated - DD didn't like them - her loss
Hugs to anyone who needs them

Hi everyone!
I'm creeping out of lurkdom on this thread. I've been reading for ages and have been really inspired by all your makes and blobs. Over the last year I've been trying out a few crafts and am very much a newbie to it all.

I've finally plucked up the courage to start a blog to chart my progress. It also means it is far easier for me to follow all of you (in the hope of stealing ideas )

I have done several cards but didn't think to take photos. My last couple were made in a bit of a rush and are very basic but are on my blob.

I've also ended up buying some promarkers and have been enjoying some colouring in. When I've recharged my camera I'll try and get some photos up.

I hope you don't mind me joining in. Hugs to all that need them......some tough times for some of you recently

Hi Jellie, Welcome to the thread and to blogland. I'm your first follower and tried to leave a comment but it wouldn't let me, it said I need to be a member to comment (don't know what that means) sorry.

Marg I can almost smell your Alice Cake, you will have one happy DH tomorrow. Is that a sweetener for taking you to Harrogate :-) Try Glitterpot for your scalloped cards its only £1 p&p under a tenner. Louise's Apple Pie was delicious she used Rose Crust Pastry....yummy

Padster.... Domestic Goddess lol xx

Crafty Louise I hope your doggy is ok, blimey £110 vets don't half know how to charge!!!

madfrog doesnt seem that long ago that it happened, i was working in tesco everyone was in the tv aisle, staff included, store sort of came to a standstill.

i have had a lovely weekend colouring in with my new promarkers and had a productive day baking millionares shortbread and cupcakes with strawberry frosting and jam in the middle yum

afternoon tea anyone?

WOW!! These look fabulous. I love millionaires shortbread, never thought about making individual cookies, I usually do a traybake one and cut into fingers. Those cupcakes look divine mmmm

Hi Jellie, welcome to the thread :hello:. I am your second follower but I can't leave a comment either, it says I have to own the blog to leave a comment...?

Julie, your baking looks divine, I'd love to pop round for afternoon tea (any hour of the day!)

Thanks so much for following me and for your welcomes. I'm all excited :j (and a bit nervous as I'm not very good!!)
I don't have a clue about how to blog but I think I have fixed the problem as to why you couldn't leave comments!!
